I was going to post this myself but JustPeachy beat me to it!

It seems that with breastfeeding only the physical health benefits are talked about and there is little acknowledgment of the psychological benefits. I'm glad there's more evidence to support me in my quest to breastfeed for "mental health".

This subject came up not too long ago for me at work. People were suprised at how well my 19month old seemed to listen (most of the time) and understand what was appropriate behavior and what wasn't. I'm glad that there is research now that shows what we have known for a while.
